Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 3, 1916.

Application filed January 2, 1913. Serial No. 739,847.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WOLF LEVINSON, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inWatch-Guards, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to watch protectors, and has for its object toprovide a watch pocket of a garment, such as a waist coat, trousers, orthe like, with means whereby the felonious withdrawal or accidentalslipping of the watch from the pocket may be guarded against, withoutinterfering with the withdrawal of the watch by the owner. 7

Another object of this invention is to provide a pocket with a watchguard which is simple in construction, elfective, economical andinexpensive in the manufacture.

With these and other objects in view, this invention consists in theconstruction, combination and the arrangement of parts, as will behereinafter more fully described and claimed and illustrated in theaccompanying drawing, which discloses a preferred form of the invention.It is to be understood however that minor changes, modifications andvariations may be made, such as come properly within the scope of theappended claim, without departlng from the spirit or sacrificing any ofthe advantages thereof.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is an elevation of a fragment'of agarment showing a pocket provided with my im proved guard; Fig. 2 is asection along the line 22 thereof, and Fig. 3 is-a view of the ard andits development. Similar reference characters refer to similar partsthroughout the several views.

In the drawing, 1 represents the garment,

2 the pocket, 8 the guard, and 4 the flap covering the opening of thepocket. The guard is attached inside the pocket by inserting one endthereof under the side edge copies of this patent may be obtained for ofthe flap 4: and stitching in the ordinary manner as indicated at 5 whichholds the guard longitudinally below the upper edge of the flap.

represents the button which is fastened 1ns1de the pocket opposite theflap and adapted to pass through the slit or hole of the guard. Throughthe space 7 between the end stitch5 and the button the chain 8 ispassed, from which chain the watch 9, or

a similar article, is suspended.

As shown in Fig. 3, the guard is made of a piece of tape 10, or of asimilar material, which is first folded over and then under formingthebody of the guard of double the width of the tape. It is thenstitched transversely across the base of isosceles triangle 11 as at 15and across the double width of the tape, as at 12. In this manner theparts are held together and form one slit between the stitchings 15 and12 which constitutes the button hole 13, and a slit 14: between thestitches 5 and .12, through which, the chain could be passed,

instead of entirely under the guard.

'walls at a distance from the side of the pocket to permit the passingof a watch chain between the side of the pocket where the tape isattached and the button, said tape being provided with a buttonhole forengaging said button.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.
